College Board announces it’s going to start giving more context about a student's background that will accompany their SAT exam score in an effort to increase diversity.
The College Board has announced it’s going to start giving more context about a student's background that will accompany their SAT exam score during the college admissions process based on various factors – including some outside of the classroom – in an effort to increase diversity.
“The Environmental Context Dashboard shines a light on students who have demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness to overcome challenges and achieve more with less,” David Coleman, the CEO of College Board, said in a statement. College Board said that those who were involved in reading applications with the new standard included said it resulted in more students from a disadvantaged background being admitted.
The move comes as the college admissions process as a whole has been under intense scrutiny following a scandal that revealed several individuals were involved in a college admissions cheating scam. On Monday, Academy Award-nominated actress Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty to a charge that spurred from the massive bribery scam.
